You have been used to take notice of the sayings of dying men — this is mine: That a life spent in the service of God, and communion with him, is the most comfortable and pleasant life that one can live in the present world.

You may as soon find a living man who does not breathe, as a living Christian who does not pray.

All obedience begins in the affections, and nothing in religion is done right, that is not done there first.

Though we may now think some sins light and little, if the Lord awaken the conscience, we shall feel even the smallest sin heavy upon our souls.

The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.

It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
